 This chapter describes helpers for performing AQL queries in Foxx. For a full overview of AQL syntax and semantics see the chapter on the ArangoDB Query Language (AQL).
 
+!SECTION Raw AQL Queries
+
+The most straightforward way to perform AQL queries is using the `db._query` API. You can learn more about this API in the [chapter on invoking AQL queries](../../Aql/Invoke.md).
+
+**Examples**
+```js
+var db = require('org/arangodb').db;
+var console = require('console');
+
+var result = db._query('RETURN 42').toArray();
+console.log(result);
+```
+
+!SECTION AQL Template Strings
+
+ArangoDB supports ES2015-style template strings for queries using the `aqlQuery` template helper.
+
+**Examples**
+
+```js
+var db = require('org/arangodb').db;
+var console = require('console');
+
+var isAdmin = true;
+var userCollection = applicationContext.collection('users');
+
+var usernames = db._query(aqlQuery`
+    FOR user IN ${userCollection}
+    FILTER user.isAdmin == ${isAdmin}
+    RETURN user
+`).toArray();
+
+console.log('usernames:', usernames);
+```
+
 !SECTION ArangoDB Query Builder
 
 The [ArangoDB Query Builder](https://www.npmjs.org/package/aqb) NPM module comes bundled with Foxx and provides a fluid API for generating complex AQL queries while avoiding raw string concatenation.
 
-Query Builder query objects can be used in any function that would normally expect an AQL string.

 If both *model*** and **transform** are provided, the **transform** function will be applied to the result array _after_ the results have been converted into model instances. The **transform** function is always passed the entire result array and its return value will be returned by the query function.
 
+**Note**: `Foxx.createQuery` provides a high-level abstraction around the underlying `db._query` API and provides an easy way to generate Foxx models from query results at the expense of hiding internals like query metadata (e.g. number of documents affected by a modification query). If you just want to perform AQL queries and don't need the abstractions provided by `Foxx.createQuery` you can just use the lower-level `db._query` API directly.
